well before anything interesting happens.....
i mssive turkey sized pheasant flew into the caddy van at 60mph the other day, so need to pull out the dent on the 'car to van' passenger side of the van.....
and the turbo bug has developed a little rattle on start up for a second, its already had the sump and strainer done which is a common probs on the 20v turb engine, this how ever is the vvt / cam chain tensioner playing up and not holding its pressure, its ok as soon as its got pressure but them seconds could knack the inlet valves , so did an oil flush and change to quatum gold fully synthetic and new filter today, its a little bit quieter but still has same problem
so cambelt / water pump / idler / tensioner need doing next week anyway to just waiting on a price on the replacement vvt unit then ill set to doing the whole lot.... gonna be fun as havent stripped a 20v vvt engine down for a few years but still remember most of it.......
just gonna be tight, as tight in the golf mk4 but looking today in the beetle chassis / body its gonna be a whole lot tighter....
oh well best get growing a few layers of skin on my knuckles over the next 6 days....
will take pictures as its done as its a inlet cam out job so full of fun... then once sorted , the bug can be lowered, new wheels, exhaust and remap etc etc...
and as for the caddy what evers done to that is on the cheap as its a work horse...., want it lower really but looking into axle flips n stuff looks a pain in the ar@e!
